Connecting a Module
Connecting a Phone Module
The Phone module enables connection of analogue handsets, including PCS 5/10s, to the system. All
configuration information is obtained from the Call Server and is stored in RAM.
1
Connect the Phone module to the system via a LAN port on the front of the Phone module. This
can be either via the network or directly to a LAN port on the Call Server. (A straight LAN cable
should be used when connecting the Phone Module to third party LAN switches.)
2
Power up the Phone Module.
3
The module will request an IP address from a DHCP server. It will make 4 attempts and then back
off for a period before trying again. The back off period will extend for each failed attempt.

Having obtained an IP address the module broadcasts to find a Call Server to provide its
configuration and become active.
